Buy Scrip!

There are 100+ stores and services that participate in the Scrip program allowing MLC community members to purchase gift cards that return profit to the school. It's a great way to raise funds for the school without dipping deeper into your pocketbook. Use scrip for your regular shopping needs at a wide variety of stores in the local area.

Lost and Found

Clothes left in the lost and found will be taken to the PTSA Clothing Center at Marshall High School three times a year to be given to kids who need them: in December (right before winter break), in March (right before spring break) and in June (the last day of school).

To volunteer to help with the Lost and Found or with the PTSA Clothing Center, contact Jenny Fleenor at 503-283-2997 or sign up on the sheet in the front hall by the office.
